Greep it's kinda fun to read too much in to things at times. And I think "holiday" is the perfect description for the glitch. I would love to know more about how the information spread between players. Was it mostly in game? or was it through chats discord etc?
I was told about it by my mom as soon as I was born and told my twin sons, the horrible plate stacking musicians, so in a way I created the problem I suppose.

Thanks you are amazing!

Anyone else getting a "version mismatch" error when logging in since the carrot patch update?

Grinding games give a little taste of the nice feeling of getting a task done.
What I like about this game are the chances to cooperate, teach and learn-- in that it's pretty unique.
Every game is a bit like some of the better minecraft servers could be when you had chill players, and people new enough to the game that it was still kinds hard. (minecraft is in some ways much to easy. You are hardly ever at risk of dying so it's just a sandbox... which could be nice)
OHOL is mean enough and hard enough that you never have that sandbox feeling unless you go to a special server.
I'm getting off topic.
Minecraft has UBI in many ways, once you set up automated farms everything in abundant and people build like crazy. So... counter point.

Today I taught one of my kids to left and right click and that soil must go before water.
He (she?) seemed really pleased with getting things to work at last. It's rewarding to help people out.
My in-game son was just standing and eating and saying "food??????" I hate to think a nice person could have been stabbed.
Most people have been nice to me. I'm still kind of new (started playing about two weeks ago)
Today, I messed up a sheep pen and the baby sheep started leaking out. I thought I was making it bigger, I made it worse. I also learned most of how to make soup and broth. I'm excited to try it. I may make mistakes, that's part of the game, though?

Bugs *are* fun.
I kind of regret not taking more time to talk, but I just didn't feel like using the bug, so I went on setting up camp.
#1432 Re: Main Forum » Our accidental UBI experiment » 2019-03-03 04:47:35
Though more seriously a real "experiment" would be more like you go down to one pip and just hang there with the "bong" noise all the time but not being dead.
#1433 Re: Main Forum » Our accidental UBI experiment » 2019-03-03 04:42:59
it doesn't seem that anyone decided to build fancy buildings, learn new tech, or pursue any sort of creative interests.
False my camp had music. LOL.

Alright, this was patched half an hour ago. Thanks, Jason!
A town of kindergartens, smashing on their pots with a wooden spoon. Sounds fun, wish I was there!
lol no you don't. They called it "jungle music" I called it "the devil's jaz"
#1435 Re: Main Forum » Many glitches with the newest patch. » 2019-03-02 23:45:53
oh so that's how the bug works, it wasn't actually explained to me, I just kind of accidentally clicked on them a few times.
I was in a town where they were standing around doing this to, then a girl picked up and ate one and they all freaked out and died and i left.
My town degenerated into making music by playing with the plates and bowls because they had infinite food.

So, now I know what happens when there is too much food. My twin sons became musicians, stacking plates and bowls to make "music" it was upsetting but also hilarious. I blame all the carrots. It unleashed too much creativity.
The aftermath... only one twin left, don't know if it is Jerry or not...

* People who bake a ton of pies then keep them in a box in the bakery when the town is clearly starving since the berry bushes were emptied to feed the sheep (to make the pies...) Baked pies and bread SHOULD NOT be in the bakery get them out or people will just keep walking in and blocking you when you are working.
* People who insist on "helping" you bake when you only have two baskets of pies to bake. Having more people isn't always better.
* People who insist on baking 39852905 pies at once and the whole village starves while they are getting ready. Wood isn't that precious. Fire the oven more often.

Thanks for mentioning this. I now take the tools to the forge and combine them when they break.

Also people who snatch stuff from under you and don't ask if you really needed it. Like I had no clothes and the fully kitted out kid takes the hat.
Also when your mom walks past items on the ground no one is taking and dosen't try to dress you at all.
#1440 Re: Main Forum » Classical topic: ''Pet Peevees'' » 2019-03-02 18:37:18
I was one of Eve's daughters. The camp was coming nicely not much talk people seemed to know what they were doing. I had two kids one after the other a boy and a girl. My sister was at the fire. I left the kids with here, brought her food and firewood as quickly as possible. She let my kids die, but fed hers.
Jerk.
Also, annoying, but understandable is when you have kid who is a new player at an Eve camp. I was like "don't stand here eating take this basket with a sharp stone and get food"
Kid put three berries in the basket from the already near empty bush right next to me.

How about registering a Trade Mark on "One hour one life"... so everyone using it to make a buck still can, but needs to call it something else.
This seems fair. The logo, name etc. should be protected, and if people want to have the official logo they would need to have the app approved.
#1442 Re: Main Forum » Open Letter to the Mobile Developers » 2019-03-01 12:56:41
Intellectual property is often over-regulated and abused but I also think the opposite extreme is dangerous for artists. I love the idea that this game can have mods, and variation, but I don't think the mobile app people are adding much?
I though that it was an official app. It cost $5. I think some of that should have gone to you. IDK it's your choice how to run this, but I don't think if there is no new content or variation that just porting an app is that ... impressive.

Gourd
Carve a large squash with a knife once to get a wet empty gourd. It dries out and becomes a bucket that can only hold 3 bowls of water. (early game bucket alternative, later game reason to grow more veggies)
Carve a squash twice (before it dries) add a candle. Jack-o-lantern!
Haystack
Stacking threshed wheat, won't de-spawn, looks like a haystack.
Add string to make a wickerman.
Cats
Cats work like dogs. They can be found in the yellow grasslands and domesticated. Holding a cat is like having on a sealskin coat. (warm!) place a cat on a rabbit family hole and get 2 rabbits.
Spooky Ritual
Something with a black cat (hard to breed) jack-o-lantern and wickerman set on fire. IDK what it should do.
Yes, I'm thinking about Halloween in March. Don't @ me.

Well... It's probably easier when you aren't just a cat on a keyboard.

Rules
1. play as Eve
2. no kids
3. make a home marker
Ideally all players would spawn in the same place on a pristine map. These could be solo runs, or multiplayer which could be interesting. The goal is to make as much food as possible in your 60 years (isn't it a bit less if you are Eve?) of life. The score is based on how many pips the food represents. Yum is not a factor. Only the food you have stacked up and left uneaten when you die in a 5x5 area around your home marker counts.
Were you playing this what is your strategy?

I'd like to do the images inline, but I get this error. "url was opened within img, this is not allowed"
My first try at documenting a life was... short. Mom was on a horse cart and was very sad... but yeah she left me.
But, then I was born in a quickly growing Eve townlet. Much better. And I had a great mom.
Like I said it was kinda basic, but they had sheep, and berries and compost... though more on that later....
Berry farm didn't look so good so I decided to make it better. My goal was to supply farmworkers with the food and soil and water they would need to easily keep it going. I made compost, but that wasn't needed this town was loaded with soil deposits.
I also started my "pie policy" that is this simple rule...**baked pies should NOT be in the bakery** they cause foot traffic and waste everyone's time. I place pies around the berries and fetched the plates back later.
Then mom, died. She gave me the knife.
This girl starts asking for the knife. So, at last I check out what she is talking about. Dude is repeatedly stealing forge stones to make a graveyard. I move the stone a few times back to the smith and he keeps taking them. So, I gave the girl the knife. She stabbed him gave the knife back. Got not photos of that part. It was a waste of time!
I got back to making pie and bread. Made loads of pies. Killed some sheep. Good times.
The end.
I'd like to do the images inline, but I get this error. "url was opened within img, this is not allowed"
